I know I am not the only one that instantly thinks diabetes when something --- anything is wrong with a non-D kiddo.

I'm embarrassed to tell you that I sometimes sneak in and check the girls' bg when they are sleeping.  Please tell me I'm not the only one?!?!

Lately my daughter, Emma has been acting different.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  A little lethargic, she moves slowly, she's lost the skip in her step ---- she's got no bounce.  Her face always looks just a little sad and her eyes have dark circles around them.  For about a week she complained of a tummy ache without any vomiting or diarrhea but she does seem a little green.  Halloween night she was just ho-hum and kind of tagged along towards the back and was the 1st one ready to call it a night.  Today she got home from her Y-Princess camp out with her daddy and again was just ho-hum.  Jim said she was pretty lethargic and lackadaisical the entire trip which just broke my heart.  I know how much they were both looking forward to this trip. Her school work is suffering and I feel like I am always 'on' her.

Today it hit me!

Holy CRAP. She has diabetes.  This is it.  I just know it.  Tummy ache, change in demeanor, tired, lethargic.
She has Ducking Fiabetes!!!

Longest 5 seconds ever . . .











Ok, she doesn't have diabetes.

Now I'm still left wondering what is wrong with my sweet little thing.  :(


Keep calm and keep plugging along . . .
